MURDER IN THE MANG

THE death of a high-ranking bandiet at Goodwood Prison has officially been ruled as a murder investigation amid allegations that he was beaten by Department of Correctional Services (DCS) officials and mauled by dogs.

Two months after the horrific death of Quinton "Questions" Fortuin, 39, cops are now probing what led to the fatal beating as his family lawyer has collected damning proof against DCS officials amid allegations about a cover up.

The incident in February saw desperate inmates write letters begging for an investigation into the alleged actions by the Emergency Support Team (EST).

According to two letters received by the Daily Voice, Fortuin who is a general of the 26s gang, was embroiled in an argument with wardens and allegedly stabbed one of them.

The bandiete claim during the scuffle, EST teams arrived and locked Fortuin in a single cell where they continuously beat him before allowing dogs to bite him.
